Abstract

A recording position error measurement apparatus includes a read image signal acquisition means (136, 290) and a signal processing means (372, 380) having: a dividing means (372, 380) which divides pixel series of the read image signal into sequences having different remainder values so as to generate image signals of the respective sequences; a prediction signal generation means (372, 380) which calculates regular prediction signals which are predicted with respect to the respective sequences, according to the read image signal; a threshold value determination means (372, 380) which determines tone value differences corresponding to respective distances representing recording position errors from the prediction signals, and which determines threshold values corresponding respectively to the recording position errors, from the tone value differences; a change signal calculation means (372, 380) which calculates a change signal indicating a difference between the prediction signal and the image signal of each of the sequences; and an error distance calculation means (372, 380) which specifies the recording position errors of the plurality of recording elements in the recording head according to comparing the change signal with each of the threshold values.
